This is a motion shot of the cars coming into the loading platform. The ride track is EXACTLY the same as it ever was. Same dips and turns same start and same stop. Take it from a three time annual pass holder that's been visiting Disneyland every year since 1981, there has been no change in the ride track. What is different are the details. The ride is as smooth as glass. There's less light in the mountian so it's harder to see what's coming. The onboard music/sound effects have been improved as has the lighting inside the mountain. The old "red arrows" on the riser tube are gone, replaced by some impressive full surface visual effects in the cylinder. Also new is a section of sliding track in the loading area designed to slide one pair of cars to the side and accomodate loading of dissabled riders without disturbing the flow of cars. I beleive it also would serve to remove a car due to excessive weight (if a car moves too fast and catches up with the car ahead the ride engages a braking system to prevent a colision, it then creates a cascading braking back the line and shuts down the ride for hours while riders are evacuated manually or the cars are manually rolled down the ride one by one) by allowing them to pull the cars to one side and re-arrange the riders without disrupting the ride. A similar system is used on the Matterhorn.
